If you want to make an excellent and even classic film, every aspect is critical. The director is on the one hand, and the actors are on the other. Perhaps it is because of the recent busy work, and the distraction of Rose’s affairs, Murphy did not notice. Henry Cavill’s anomaly did not communicate well in time.

The importance of communication for a director and crew is unquestionable.

Many people think that the director is the best at self-expression, but the film can achieve its prominent status today, not because it is an individualistic medium, but because it is the product of collective collaboration. To make an excellent film requires writers and playwrights. , Actors and even computer painters and visual creators work together. It requires choreographers, special effects experts, art directors, set designers, sound designers, makeup artists, costume artists, musicians, editors, and a variety of different artists. In order to complete Noah’s Ark-like career, the work of distributors, theaters, financiers, and investors is needed to make movies possible. The power and sentiment of movies come from mutual cooperation.

Murphy has always been clear that the most necessary ability for a film director is like a lens to gather the great talents of many colleagues, and then integrate it into a unified consciousness to present a film that is working hard to do a good job of conscience.

Early the next morning, before filming started, Murphy deliberately approached Henry Cavill to talk about his role.

Those who closed the office, Murphy asked directly, "Henry, what do you think is the theme reflected in the film?"

Henry Cavill thought for a while and said, "Fear, anger, determination and strength."

"Yes." Murphy's eyes moved out of the window, and the sun has risen, "Chris Dan is more angry and fearful now."

Having said that, he retracted his gaze, looked at Henry Cavill, and asked, "What do you think of fear?"

"From the physiological definition, fear is an emotional experience that an organism attempts to get rid of and escape from a certain situation but is powerless; it can also express the violent contraction of the biological tissues of the organism; the tissue density increases sharply, and the energy is released sharply."

Hearing Henry Cavill, a non-academic actor, said academic views, Murphy couldn't help but smile, and said, "I think fear is a very contradictory phenomenon-the more you are afraid, the more you are afraid, but you can gain more. The power of resistance, even countermeasures."

Henry Cavill showed a curious look, and Murphy continued, "Actually, to be honest, I have never agreed that opposites and incompatible things can exist at the same time, but this is indeed a strange phenomenon. The only explanation can be given. The thing is, fear itself can restrain anger, but when anger is stimulated,'fear stimulates power' happens."

"This is the other side of the hero's fear-anger! In fact, I think it is fear that brings anger, and anger inspires power."

Murphy brought the topic back to the character itself, "Chris Dan's fear of darkness comes from the deepest part of his heart. At this stage, he can't feel the power caused by fear. However, his father was killed later. , Let his fear add an anger color, at this time Chris Dann gained his own powerful strength through study and exercise."

"He is different from his father. After losing the opportunity for revenge, he began to have the courage to challenge the evil forces of New York City until he finally learned to control fear. He became fear itself. He... became the messenger of justice in the night."

"Henry..." Murphy patted his arm, "What you need to do is to highlight Chris Dann's fear and anger and determination in the right scene, through the right way of acting!"

"I will do my best." Henry Cavill said swornly.

Frankly speaking, the two people did not have enough communication with the characters before, and Murphy did not blame Henry Cavill for his bad state. At this time, he couldn't help saying a few more words.

Of course, as a director, most of the time, Murphy is talking and Henry Cavill is listening.

He said to Henry Cavill, "As his adoptive father Reiner said, what Chris Dan has been looking for is not the fear of criminals, but his own fear. What he has always feared is The power in his body was the power he couldn't control by relying on anger. Therefore, he embarked on the path of becoming fear itself, fighting and punishing criminals."

Hearing this, Henry Cavill thought for a while before saying, "I think what Chris really fears is the powerful force in him."

He slowly said, "In the script, there is a dialogue between his father and him-the more terrifying creatures, the more they are actually afraid. Chris Dan is afraid of darkness, but in the final analysis, Chris Dan is afraid of adulthood. It's the power that burst out when he was afraid."

Seeing Murphy’s affirmative eyes, Henry Cavill said again, “When talking to Renner about the death of his father because of fear indirectly, Chris Dann was actually using anger to suppress his power. Then, in Renner’s With the help, Chris found a primitive, safe, and symbolic way to use this power correctly and guide this power to become fear itself to manipulate power, to transfer power, to transfer fear, and to make fear. To deal with the people it really needs to deal with. This is to fight the evil forces in New York City."

Duke laughed, and when he walked past Henry Cavill, he gently patted his shoulder, "I look forward to your next performance."

In the final analysis, all of this must ultimately be reflected in how crimes are treated. This is the source of the conflict between the hero, the heroine, and the villain. This conflict comes from different concepts and ideologies.

The heroine Jay Rachel, played by Margot Robbie, is a legal worker. She believes that the law must be a legitimate way to fight crime, and the fight against crime can be achieved in the long run, because it is the most reasonable And the most social.

The villain played by Liam Neeson is not the case. He uses destruction and reconstruction to combat crime. This method is the most effective, but there are problems: First, there is considerable uncertainty. The standard for destruction depends entirely on the implementation. The interests of the torturers are formulated, which lacks universality. Second, determining how to rebuild and the process of reconstruction are both a process that requires a huge price, and it may be a little outweigh the gains compared to the reconstruction before the destruction.

The last type is the male protagonist, who fights criminals through more free and powerful lynching that is above the law.

But Murphy, through the script, expresses that these methods of fighting crime all have a private element to a certain extent, and they are not really a way of maintaining order beyond the social level.

There is no way of maintaining order that truly transcends the social level.

People have thoughts and feelings, not only machines that know how to execute. These are destined to have selfishness. Those so-called order methods that ignore human selfishness are destined to only exist in utopia.

In the subsequent shooting, Henry Cavill's condition got better and better, and the shooting began to go smoothly. After another week of shooting on a set outside of Venice, Murphy led the crew to leave the studio and began shooting on the streets of Los Angeles. The background is New York, Los Angeles shooting will not have any long-range and panoramic shots, basically some close-up shots.

Murphy also put the main location in Century City, where there are many high-rise buildings, as long as there is no large-scale lens, there will be basically no lens deviation.

Especially in post-production, the crew can also make appropriate background modifications through CGI.

The Stanton Studio also moved to Century City a few years ago. The leased office is not far from the Fox Tower. Murphy is also used as a location. The first floor of the building is a restaurant. There is no clear information about Los Angeles at the entrance of the restaurant. Logo, Gal Gadot signed an agreement with the restaurant early in the morning, where the crew will shoot a very important scene between the male protagonist and the female protagonist.

The filming was put at night by Murphy. As it attracted paparazzi and reporters, Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie were ready, and the filming began immediately.

"Jay, no...this, all this..."

At the beginning of the filming, facing Margot Robbie who played the role of his friend Jay Rachel, Henry Cavill didn’t seem to know what to say. , Not so superficial..."

"Come here, Chris."

On the other side of the sports car, two hot blonde girls shouted to this side, "Come on, Chris, let's buy some more restaurants."

Margot Robbie shook his head slightly, grinning and pulling out a big smile, "Chris, you are still that upright child deep in your heart, but it doesn't matter who you are in appearance, what you do What matters."

She turned and walked away.

"Cut!"

Murphy yelled to stop, showing his head from behind the monitor, first complimenting Henry Cavill, "Well done, Henry, keep it going."

Then, he beckoned to Margot Robbie, and Margot Robbie immediately walked over on high heels.

"Murphy," she asked tentatively with a smile, "Do I have a problem?"

"Control your smile." Murphy didn't go around in circles, but said directly, "Don't laugh, it will ruin the character's image."

Margot Robbie thought for a while, and seemed to understand, "I see."

In fact, her problem is not serious, but as soon as Murphy saw Margot Robbie cracking his mouth and laughing, he would unconsciously think of Harley Quinn, and the feeling of the character in the shot completely changed.

He said to an assistant director next to him, "Take a five-minute break, then do it again."

The subsequent shooting went smoothly. After one pass, it was announced, and today's work is over.

Margot Robbie didn't go to remove the makeup right away, but instead walked over and said to Murphy, "Shall I invite you and Gale to have a drink?"
